I usually say this in my head at least twice a day. Not about myself, although, yes I am too cute to ever be THAT mad but it's usually when I see a women frustrated with her life and taking it out on others.
You ever see that woman who has a great style, maybe a great haircut or her nails are always on point. Something that makes you think, wow! she's really looking put together. Then she opens her mouth and spews venom and she becomes a wilder-beast in your eyes? That's what an attitude does to you. Especially when it's directed to someone who doesn't deserve it. This happens at work a lot doesn't it? It's something about the workplace that brings this cattiness out in some. HARD. You see the thievery, the underhandedness, the hate, the shade, whatever you want to call it at work. It's like there's this special kind of bullshit we put each other through when a paycheck is involved.
We women need to stick together. It's already tough out here if you have a vagina. Like, life is instantly harder. We have so much more to deal with because we have boobs, (do any of you think about strategies and contingency plans on how to keep yourself safe if you wear a particular outfit out...let's discuss that later shall we?) why should we make it harder for each other? If you see a woman shining, have the grace to appreciate it and the courage to embrace it. If one wins, we all win. There is no reason for us to be against each other. There are too many men (they outnumber us) to fight over one. Don't attack the other woman if your man is cheating. He's the one who failed you. I hear it all the time, "She knew about me! She knew he was with someone!" Ok, my question: "But did she cheat on you?" I'm not bashing men here but he's the one who should be held accountable. The other woman, is just the other woman. Maybe she knew, maybe she didn't. Maybe he lied to everyone, perhaps he didn't. He is the one you bring this to. Not her. Look, I get it, I've been cheated on, it sucks. I never took it to the girl, she can have him. However, I digress. We need to treat each other (women) better.
Don't make me cut you, you KNEW that was my lunch in the office fridge!
It's sad to hear women say, "I'd rather work with men because there's less drama". Less drama....sigh. I admit, some women like to bring their personal issues to work: if you had a fight with your man, that doesn't mean you get to snap at me. Having issues with your kids has nothing to do with me. You feeling bloated? Not because of me.
Cue me: You are too cute to be this mad at the world.
We all have problems and are all entitled to a bad day. However, when you want to bring the whole world down with you because YOU'RE upset... girl sit down somewhere with that. Especially at work. We all rather be on a yacht drinking a cocktail with an umbrella in it, but alas, we're here today. So take a deep breath and remember that Karma is a lovely bitch who likes to collect on her debts. Make sure she gives you the right change back.
